While waiting in line at a local convenience store, we overheard the matronly looking 55 to 60 year old clerk, saying on the telephone, “There’s a fire in the trash can, by the pumps, what do you want me to do?”

Not believing what we just heard, we looked and indeed, there was smoke wafting from a trash can … by the pumps!

We didn’t complete our transaction, but instead exited hastily. We were left to wonder, “How does this idiot keep their job, let alone getting it?”
